Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: Portland Trail Blazers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder
Sunday, February 05, 2017 3:00 PM
Play: Total: 217.0/-108 Over
Free Pick on Blazers/Thunder OVER
Recent history suggest we should expect a high-scoring game when the Blazers take on the Thunder. These two teams have combined for at least 209 points in each of their last 4 meetings with 3 of those eclipsing the 220 mark. Given the current form of both teams, I'm expecting a shootout on Super Bowl Sunday. The Trail Blazers are built to play in high-scoring games. They are dynamic offensively 107.7 ppg (109.4 ppg L5) and don't play much defense 109.9 ppg (allowing 112.4 ppg on the road).
While the UNDER is 29-20 on the season for OKC, they are 12-11 to the OVER at home. A bit part of that is the offense really comes alive at 109.5 ppg. The defense has been alright, but they come in allowing 108.6 ppg over their last 5 and recently lost a key defensive piece in Kanter. Given the opponent being the Blazers, I think these two have no problem pushing this total into the 220's.
OVER is 5-0 in the OKC's last 5 home games against a team with a losing road record and 4-1 in the Blazers last 5 road games against a team with a winning home record. Take the OVER!
